I ask you to take advantage of Comrade Rakovsky’s
presence in Moscow to organise, together with him and
Comrade Tsyurupa, a conference on the possibility and ways of
getting the peasants, on the one hand, and the
handicraftsmen and the factory population, on the other, to take a
practical interest in the exchange (organised on state lines,
as far as possible) of farm produce for industrial goods.
This conference must be organised very urgently.
